Chicken melee works poorly on sea #5147

The basic zergling-type chicken walks on the seafloor so can be unable to hit things on the surface. This is bad because all basic structures (mex, tidal, radar, shipyard, torp) live on the surface. On the flipside they get the protection of being underwater which I feel goes against the general idea of what they should be as well. Perhaps the easy fix is to make them swim on the surface, but maybe that introduces some other failure mode instead? Idk.

Make chicken melee cylindrical? Underwater chickens dragging your tidals to the sea floor feels like it is theme.
